ALIEN ANTHOLOGY Blu-ray Giveaway! Who Wants a Free Copy of This Amazing Box Set

We all own far too many DVDs. Nowadays, a lot of us are buying way too many Blu-rays. However, every once in awhile, usually around the holidays, a box set will get released that is just too awesome to pass up. Next week one such release hits retail stores: the Alien Anthology Blu-ray box set. Loaded with over 50 hours of bonus materials and theatrical and special editions of all the Alien movies, the box set is one of the most comprehensive home video releases ever. We got our review copy in the mail today and it’s on a whole other level of awesome. If you’re a fan of the Alien movies, this is a must own release. Granted, it’ll take you the rest of the decade to watch all the special features, but you will feel like you got your money’s worth.

However, while most of you will have to buy this box set, a few of you can get it for free! That’s because thanks to Fox Home Video, we’ve been given 3 copies to giveaway to some of our readers, so hit the jump to see how to enter and you can also look over all the extras that are included in this release. Trust me, you want to own this:

Before going any further…here’s the reason to own this edition. I’ve taken this from a Fox press release:

For the first time ever, the studio has united the material from every home video release of the ALIEN saga including the 1991/1992 laserdisc releases, the 1999 “Legacy” release and 2003’s groundbreaking ALIEN QUADRILOGY release into one complete Blu-ray collection. The set also includes two versions of each film and over four hours of previously unreleased exclusive material such as original screentests of Sigourney Weaver prior to filming the original ALIEN, unseen deleted scenes, thousands of still photographs from the Fox archives, the previously unseen original cut of “Wreckage and Rage: The Making of ALIEN3,” and much, much more.

If you’d like to get be entered for a free copy, what you need to do is email thecollidermailbox@gmail.comwith your name and address and say ALIEN QUADRILOGY GIVEAWAY in the headline. This giveaway will be open until November 5th at noon Pacific Time and is only open to residents of the United States. Also, only one entry per person.

Once the giveaway ends, I’ll read over all the entries and randomly pick out winners. You can help your chances by writing one paragraph saying why you love this franchise. I’d really like to hook up some true fans. Also, I will definitely pick one winner from today. Meaning, you might want to send in an email asap.

Finally, Fox has set up an “ultimate survival game.” Your mission? Shoot the facehugger aliens as they hatch and spring towards you. If they get too close, your health will take a hit. Check it out here:
